Hailing from the state of Minnesota and great senators like Hubert H. Humphrey, Walter Mondale, and Paul Wellstone, you can all just indulge me this moment.
The right-wing has attempted to smear Al Franken as a jokester and court jester — at the same time they promote Sarah Palin, a natural comedian unaware of her self-parody comedy talent, as a serious politician and the future of the Republican Party. Oh, please!
Al Franken is an award-winning professional comedian and writer for which he was compensated handsomely for his talent. Do Republicans resent the man for being a success in his professional field and getting rich doing it?
Al Franken is also a highly intelligent and thoughtful policy wonk who knows and understands public policy. I am confident that he will represent Minnesota with honor and in the tradition of the giants who preceded him.
Congratulations Al and Franni Franken. Time to get to work.
